Another trip to the farm

It was time to cut the grass at the farm.  We left late on a Friday afternoon after returning from the farm.  Traffic was not as good and we took a different way.  We ate dinner in the car...corndogs! Dont' be jealous! I started cutting as soon as we unloaded and cut until I couldn't see.  Brendon worked on beaver patrol and we were very happy to see our pond up with water.  With thought we may have a leak somewhere.  We spent most of Saturday cutting grass until a storm rolled through.  Then we went to Dairy Queen and Home Depot.  We bought some lumber for our next project.  We want to build some form of shade structure.  Then we had to cut some more on Sunday morning because the rain dampened my cutting.  We also did some trash pick up.

Off to New York

Juse was busy! Full of travel.  After coming home from the farm, we had time to do some laundry, I had a work meeting, and then get packed up for New York!  Also in that time I started working on things at the house.  The upstairs doors were painted (as of now July 14th) and currently I am working on painting all the moldings around the door which is much easier than painting the doors!

We flew to NY for a week and here are some fun times!

We went to the zoo, a Bisons game, played lots of baseball, saw lots of family and lots of fun!

A Week at the Farm

After school was over we went to the farm.  There is ALWAYS work to do.  We had some plans of things we wanted to do.  Things just always seem to take a longer time to complete when we are there.  Not that we are efficient but when you are working with limited resources, no power, no water, and it is 900 degrees outside it just takes a bit.

The original plans in no particular order: Build a dock, build a picnic table, build a shade structure, weed whack where needed, meet with the forester, meet with someone to do tractor work

The real plans that got accomplished: built a dock, and built a picnic table...and stained them =) weed whack where needed, met with the forester, met with someone to do tractor work and help with the beavers!

We had some unexpected social events but they included swimming so it was ALL good!!
